Audit and framing
Define the protocol, the participants, the measures and the practical constraints before choosing any technology.
Cognitive systems and experimental platforms
Cognitive systems apply what is known about memory, attention and spatial cognition to software that people can actually use in real conditions.
I design and build experimental platforms and research tools, including NeuRoam, an in-house platform for ecological memory and spatial cognition experiments.
The situations this answers
- Research protocols that live in spreadsheets and ad-hoc scripts.
- Ecological experiments whose data collection is hard to reproduce.
- Participant-facing tools that need assistance to be used correctly.
- Results that cannot be traced back to an exact protocol version.
How it fits together
A protocol, a loop and a research platform
A protocol links participant, capture, validation, analysis and insight in a loop, with NeuRoam as the research platform.
What you get
- An experimental platform with versioned protocols.
- Data capture designed for real environments, not only the lab.
- Participant interfaces tested on real devices and real users.
- Traceable exports ready for analysis and publication.
- A system your research team can operate without an engineer.
How an engagement runs
Design and delivery
Build the platform, the data model, the participant interfaces and the analysis exports, then test them in real conditions.
Industrialisation and takeover
Add hosting, monitoring, protocol versioning and documented procedures, then hand over to the research team.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a research service or an engineering service?
It is engineering. I build and operate the platform and its data pipeline; the scientific protocol, the measures and the analysis stay with your research team.
Which experiments fit such a platform?
Episodic memory, spatial cognition and navigation tasks, in the lab or in ecological environments. Each protocol needs its own design and its own validation.
Can the platform run on our infrastructure?
Yes. Hosting, access control and data residency are chosen with your constraints, and the platform can run inside your cloud account.
How do you work with a research team?
The protocol, the measures and the acceptance criteria are defined together. The build is then incremental, with sessions on real devices and real participants before handover.
